I see cars with Utah plates that have stickers or custom plates proclaiming they are not from Utah. When I was a student at BYU I would always see people wearing gear from their home state colleges.

My $0.02 on the new Utah flag, as there seems to be a lot of talk about it.

I’ve never liked Utah’s flag. This one isn’t the version I wanted, but it’s pretty good. I’m happy with the change.

Any of the proposed options were better than the previous flag.

I liked that one a lot. Represents Northern and Southern Utah well.

Read the OP. It's a community pride thing.

Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico all have great flag designs.

I have always loved New Mexico' state flag.

NM's is a great design. A flag should be simple enough that elementary kids can recreate it.

The new flag looks like something you'd find in a cheap souvenir store

The new design looks more like a logo which makes it easier to merchandise.

It does look like something created on a free logo maker

Agreed. I always felt that the flag was a bit outdated. I will disagree with you

The new one looks better and keeps a lot of the symbolism from the old one

Why are people fighting against the new flag? Seems like a waste of energy

Would have preferred orange at the bottom v. red. More aligned to our southern

Isn't it like a red/orange? At least that's why my eyes are telling me.

This is the biggest thing I would have changed. A lighter blue up top and a more

Why'd they choose such a deep red and blue? Overall a good logo.
